"Conservative must mean something completely different in Germany.."

Yeah....I think I read somewhere that the meaning of "conservative and liberal" are completely reversed from the way we use those same words..(?)

We’ve seen the populist wave finally arrive in Germany. It arose in Greece with Syriza, whose roots are in the Communist Left and its spread to Germany with the rise of the rightist AfD. Populist parties defy easy traditional left-right divides and are challenging if not toppling the parties of the old order throughout the West.

Yeah. Liberal vs. classic liberal vs. conservative vs. etc. is very different in Europe.

If “conservative” is to “conserve” the question has to be “conserve what?”. It could be communism, nazism, etc..

This impacts young girls the most...which translates to young men by default.

“The happening” is, well, happening.

She lost ONLY 11%?! She shouldn’t have received any support at all.

When will politicians learn not to sell out their own citizens?

Exit poll results in three out of 16 German states foretell a wipeout in next year's general election as the hard-right capitalized on public disquiet and altered the political landscape forever.

Would a political wipeout next year be in time to save Germany, or will Merkel have altered the demographic landscape forever? Or will Germany return to their policies of 75 years ago?

So they defeat Merkel......then what will they do with the millions of invaders that are leaching off of their country and destroying their culture?

The people just took it back.

Not so fast ... It's just the first skirmish.

That’s still 13 of 16 that haven’t woken up. Not good.

There were no elections in those 13 of 16 states today.

Will Germany repeat the Sweden model, where the “conservative” party will went into coalition with the socialists, just to keep the surging anti-invasion party from having a seat at the table?

In Sweden, the only anti-invasion party is the Sweden Democrats. Germany has AfD.

Y'know, I don't recall her having been selected for Time's 'honor' back when she eked out an unlikely victory in the German elections years ago. Perhaps someone remembers differently?

In Europe conservative means socialist and open borders. “Right wing” usually means socialist with closed borders. Green or left wing means communist with open borders.

This is a crying shame and could’ve been prevented if we had merely annexed the American sector at the end of WW2.

How many people have suffered or died under the communist yoke because we didn’t keep the territory that we’ve occcupied?
